2020 HLPF UN DESA/UNITAR SDGs Learning, Training and Practice Workshop

IAU/AUF/ACU, jointly with partners ICAE and the SDG Academy, will offer a virtual workshop titled: "Teaching, Learning and Integrating the SDGs at universities and beyond - Linking to the Decade of Action" at the High-Level-Political Forum (HLPF) on 13 July 2020 , 9-10.30 EST (15-16.30 CEST).

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), affecting a diverse range of stakeholders within and beyond the formal education system. Particularly, there is a need for teaching and learning which embeds the priorities of the SDGs for every level and type of education, ranging from formal and informal systems, and from classroomcontexts to lifelong learning (LLL). With SDG 4 of the 2030 Agenda focused on ensuring “inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all,” this workshop aims to present approaches, resources and methods for education for sustainable development and integrating it to a wide variety of educational contexts.

As more higher education institutions (HEIs) and other post-secondary education organizations globally engage with the 2030 Agenda and SDGs, education leaders are debating how to integrate SDGs in teaching, LLL, research, community engagement, and campus operations. To support this process, policymakers and other stakeholders should form partnerships with staff, students, researchers, and citizens engaged in higher education and LLL work.

Topics to be covered include:

● A ‘wreath’ of goals - Interlinkages of the SDGs to Higher Education and Lifelong Learning

● ‘All for one and one for all’ – cooperation and partnership for the Global Agenda

● Global character and local ‘face’ of SDGs
